Mushkin Readies Copperhead Series Memory Kits
Mushkin is readying a new series of PC memory kits named Copperhead. The series circles around a new heatspreader design that heavily makes use of copper, to enhance its thermal characteristics. The company has in the the past worked on similar heatspreader innovations including a vapor-chamber technology based Ascent series. Considering that copper is an expensive (if not precious) metal, these kits could be positioned in the higher-end category, consisting of triple-channel and dual-channel DDR3 memory kits. Owing to its still sizable market, DDR2 kits in the series cannot be written off at this point. Expect product launches very soon.

Of course, other thing is, copper used in high-end tech, which is finely processed, gritted, and bla bla bla.
and my sources confirm that it is copper indeed on the heatspreader.
If its anything like most of Mushkins other stuff these should clock very well too.....but damn the looks sold me already. :eek: :rockout:
